Preventing and Healing Climate Traumas 1st Edition

Gripping, practical, and urgently relevant, Preventing and Healing Climate Traumas, 1st Edition by Bob Doppelt offers a clear roadmap for individuals, communities, and professionals facing the emotional fallout of climate change. This book cuts through overwhelm with compassionate, evidence-informed strategies to prevent, process, and transform climate-related distress.

Doppelt combines deep expertise in climate resilience with accessible guidance—explaining why climate anxiety, grief, and trauma occur, who is most at risk, and how to build psychological and community resilience. Readers will find step-by-step approaches to restore emotional balance after extreme weather, wildfires, floods, or slow-onset changes affecting livelihoods in cities, coastal towns, and rural regions across the United States and around the world.

Filled with practical exercises, community-based interventions, and real-world case studies, this edition empowers therapists, emergency responders, policymakers, educators, and concerned citizens to respond effectively. It emphasizes prevention as much as healing: strengthening social bonds, improving preparedness, and fostering meaning-making so individuals and neighborhoods can bounce back stronger.

Whether you’re a mental health professional seeking culturally sensitive tools, a community leader planning trauma-informed disaster response, or someone coping with eco-anxiety, this book is a timely resource. Thoughtful, compassionate, and action-oriented, Preventing and Healing Climate Traumas, 1st Edition turns climate distress into a catalyst for resilience and collective care.
